"Ok. Pure. Sheer. Genious. I got my new gear just before leaving for Mammoth Mountain again. I hate to sound like a broken record or a little giddy girl, but I just loooove the new Habit short. It IS sooooo comfortable. My boyfriend had to pry them off of me (ok, no, not THAT way) because I rode them riding, then out to eat...hehe. Oh, that and the Gravity Jersey. Genious. That is now my fav riding combo. Only now I have to get rid of all my pre-Harlot gear.... Ebay? Hehe."

"I LOVE my Freeride knickers...Now that I have them I don't want to ride without them..."              .....Sheila in New Jersey
"The socks are the PERFECT height too. Finally someone with a sock that isn't too tall. And the t-shirt is really nice. I love how soft all the materials are and instantaneously comfortable."
                                                ....Joanna Petterson, pro downhiller
Harlot has recently been seen in Bicycling Magazine, Velo News, Decline Magazine, Bicycle Retailer, Mountain Biking Magazine and Outside Magazine online to name a few...

Review of our Freeride Knickers:
"They don't dig in, chafe, or cling where they shouldn't. The waistband manages to hold the pants up without digging in uncomfortably (a few other manufacturers could get some tips here)... The best thing is, you don't even notice them - you can just get on with riding while forgetting that what you're wearing even has such a thing as a waistband. The liner is also really unobtrusive, and the padding is minimalist - I guess this is a matter of preference but personally I've never got on with big wodges of padding that feel like you're wearing a nappy, no matter how forgiving they might be
on longer rides! These are ideal as far as I'm concerned."          ....reviewer for Minx.com

"I rode for about 3 hours on a pretty hard mountain bike trail and had no chafing and was able to keep relatively cool. They are correct, no diaper butt, however they really give you a lot of protection! I give Harlot Wear two thumbs up for the Stellar Shorts, they do just what you need them too. If you are looking for a great pair of women's cycling shorts you should give these a try."                  ....Karen @ Cycling Reviews

"First impression: It's such a relief to put on a baggy short and not have it be... well, baggy. There are some I've tried that have a pad SO huge that it's like wearing 4 or 5 maxi pads, and it looks like it, too. Who wants to leave the house wearing that? The BCZ chamois is integrated into the liner, and the whole short is form-fitting without any binding areas. They seem forgiving and flattering - no baggy belly, no bulky butt - and fits curves without squishing them or covering them with tons of extra fabric."        ....Crystal @ Girlbike.com

People are talking about Harlot
"I just ordered your Houlihan and Carmen shorts.  They are great!  Good quality and Made in the USA.  I am very happy. 
FYI, I posted my positive review of your website in a women's forum on MTBReview.com.  The are lots of women looking for your products but settling for men's clothing.   
I will continue singing your praises to anyone who will listen.   Thanks again!  "                    ---Noemi in Maryland

 

 

Review of our Houlihan Short:
"I tested the strength and durability of the shorts.  I took a pretty good digger with them on and landed in a gnarly rocky patch, then didn't even snag, and they stayed put so my legs didn't get eaten up too bad.  Those shorts rock!  ;o ) "      .........Addie Lepper, downhill racer

 

Review of the Carmen Shorts and Scarlet Knickers:
"There was no chafing, pulling, catching, digging or gouging for either of us.  I can't stress enough how comfortable this gear is, and I truly LOVE the styling.
Cheers and thumbs up for Harlot.  They have designed gear that is comfortable, fashionable, and protects all the right places."                        ....reviewers for PedalPushersOnline
                                            (read the whole review here.)
"My SO picked up a pair of shorts and a top...and about knocked me off my saddle when she came out for the ride.  Very flattering style and she raved about how they fit."
                    ............from the mtbr forums
"...I'm telling all my friends about Harlotwear.  I'm not sure what's cooler, your clothes or your service."
                            ....Michelle in Colorado
"Just wanted to say that I LOVE your stuff!  I am a triathlete and your clothing works for that sport too!  Swim on, Bike on, Run on!"                          .....Susan in Colorado
"My Scarlet Knickers are the most worn item in my wardrobe.  Period.  I wear them to ski in (with wool socks), to jog in, and of course, to ride in town and down the mountain." 
                                     ...Elicia in Oregon
"I am not an itty-bitty girl, and have always found it tough to find cycling clothing cut to fit me well and still be flattering. Then I found you guys and just wanted to say thanks."
                          ....Shay in Texas

"I received the (Scarlet-X) knickers today.  THEY ARE PERFECT & I LOVE THEM!!  Make more!  More styles, more colors!  I love them!"
                ....Marlo in Colorado

"Wanted to drop you a note and let you know how much I'm liking the men's shorts. Very well thought out, lots of attention to details. The stretch material in the legs and pockets, off-set snaps, fabric on the interior of the waistband: all great features. I've been using them a lot lately for my dirt commute, keeps me from scaring my fellow employees with visions of lycra!"
                            ...Joe in Maryland
"I just wanted to say thank you for carrying such a great product. I'm 5'3 and 105 pounds and I can't tell you how many mtb shorts I've tried on mostly from online retailers since I can't find any to fit me at the local stores. Everyone told me to try boys shorts but I knew there had to be a short to fit me! Someone from a local mtb website, So Cal Trailriders (STR) recommended Harlot to me after my lamenting and I have to say I'm definitely pleased with my purchase. Not only did all 3 pairs (Carmen-X Short, Scarlet Knicker & the Loretta Short) fit perfectly but the Carmen-X short survived my first crash down a local fire road trail at speed and didn't even snag one thread. They still look brand new! I'm so happy with your product that I'm placing another order and have recommended your site to a friend who's already placed her order. I have to say, I love the logo. What better way to show your love for a male dominated sport by sporting a Harlot logo on your butt?? I love it!
Keep up the good work and I look forward to future products.
Happy riding!"                                .....Nathalie in California
I just wanted to say thank you for such a prompt transaction.  It was great to see the box on my doorstep the other day.  I got a tank, the molly shirt and some black knickers.  They all fit great and feel awesome. 
                                                                                                            .....Kristi in Tennessee
My Harlotwear arrived today and I just had to write and tell you how pleased I am.  Everything fits perfectly, feels super-comfortable and looks amazing!  I've only just started mountain biking and feeling good in my new gear is going to be a great motivator to get out on the trails!   I'll definitely be buying more - love the cute socks and accessories - and I'll be recommending you to anyone who'll listen.  Oh - I forgot - great service too!
                             ....Luisa in BC
...your clothes are the best.  They fit great and are comfortable and look good.  I bought the black shorts and the camouflage shorts and the wool-blend shirt and I feel so cool, even though I'll be forty in a couple of weeks.  Even my son who is almost 13 and actually rides with me, thinks I'm a pretty cool mom.  Thanks for finally making a good line of women MB clothing!                           ...Lisa in Vermont
I love love love the scarlet X longshorts I have. That chamois is the best system.  I don’t think I can go back to my baggie diapers. ;)
